Check these before selling at melt
The 1916-D Mercury dime is the key date of the series and is worth far more than melt; check any 1916 dime before selling it as silver.
This page prices metal, not rarity. A coin a collector would pay more for should be looked up in a grading guide before it goes into a melt lot — once it is sold by weight, the premium is gone.
Any US dime dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver; 1965 and later circulating dimes are clad and worth face value. The edge gives it away in a roll: solid silver-white on silver dimes, a copper stripe on clad ones.
The number above is melt value: the silver in one unworn coin at the live spot price. For a circulated coin that is the right answer — silver dimes trade on their metal, not their face value — but a few dates are worth more to collectors, and the key-dates section on this page names them. For a whole bag or a mixed lot, the junk silver calculator prices it by face value.
